When Billionaires rub shoulders

What was labeled as a 'secret meeting' between some of the richest tycoons on the face of our planet recently took place at a, not so secret location, in New York City. Major news outlets chose to practically ignore this gathering, however some attention should be directed at a coffee chat of this type, if for no other reason, to get answers to what should be the one and only question...Why?

Oh sure, the 'official' word for having this assemblage was to focus on philanthropic issues, but if you live in my cynical world, you are compelled to look beyond what is pablum fed to common folks, such as us, and look for ulterior motives. Seriously, when people like George Soros, Oprah Winfrey, Ted Turner and Michael Bloomburg get in the same room to rub shoulders, little people like me begin to show concern. With all due respect to these mentioned four, granted, they are rich...no, they are filthy rich...but at the end of the day, perhaps one might question individually, never mind collectively, their mental stability.

In a previous blog entry, I questioned who is actually running this country's government in Washington, DC. It's not too difficult to recognize someone as naive as our current President, receiving his marching orders from the likes of the majority in this exclusive club. And of course they should demand nothing less than Barack Obamas loyalty. When all is said and done, you must agree, through their support, they did 'buy' the Executive office.
